Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Personality Assessment Inventory

Study Arms (2)

Lifespan Integration Therapy (LI)

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: Lifespan Integration Therapy

Waitlist Control- Lifespan Integration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Behavioral: Lifespan Integration- Control

Interventions

LI treatment guides the client to imaginally visit past memories, and then leads her or him forward through time to the present using a concept referred to as the time line. Beginning with the individual's memories from the traumatic experience, the time line first follows memories from the days and weeks after the trauma, then season by season to the present, and is reviewed in ongoing sessions as increasing details of the traumatic event are uncovered.

Lifespan Integration Therapy (LI)

Participants selected for the control group will be treated 4 weeks following initial contact. Treatment is the same as for the Experimental Group.
